2 El Dorado County deputies, suspect shot in Camino
Two El Dorado County deputies and a suspect were shot in Camino Thursday morning, authorities said.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office said it responded to a home along Mountain View Drive in Camino shortly before 7:30 a.m. after receiving a report from a Pacific Gas & Electric crew that they had been shot at.
PG&E said in a statement to CBS Sacramento that it is aware of the incident, saying one of its "contract coworkers" was injured in the incident.
Jesse Dacanay, a spokesperson for the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, said SWAT responded to the scene in an attempt to contact the suspect, who was located inside a home on Mountain View Drive.
After more than three hours of trying to contact the suspect, the shooting occurred, wounding two deputies and the suspect, Dacanay said. They were all taken to the hospital.
The suspect, who was described as a man, has not yet been identified.
Dacanay said the deputies are stable and the condition of the suspect, who was taken to the hospital via a helicopter, is unknown at this time. The PG&E contract worker suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Dacanay said.
Law enforcement remains in the area as the investigation is ongoing. Dacanay said there is no threat to the public at this time.
